Hi everyone, especially to all of my new friends who have just signed up from all the ASA leagues around the country. Super excited you guys are here. Thanks to everyone who has friended me and for all the comments on my profile - I'm starting to read them now and they give me so much inspiration - it's just like pitching in front of a big crowd!

Right now, we're just about to finish up our nearly five month-long training tour. Tonight's game is in Salem, Virginia, one of the last two games before we head to the Olympics! Wow - Opening Ceremonies are in two weeks!!!

In the meantime, I hope everyone is having fun on here - and remember to get all of your teammates, friends, coaches, family members and anyone else you can think of to sign up. Either you or a coach can also create a team page for the entire group.

Going through so many of your new group pages has been a lot of fun for us - yup, I'm even showing a bunch to my USA teammates. And remember that each week I'm going to pick out my favorite softball teams - there will be a new Finch Favorite each week and you'll get a badge on your group page letting everyone know. So get those pages set up, get everyone to join and post all your pictures there, too.

Before I head to China next week, I'll try to answer a few of your questions, so keep sending 'em in. And check back next week to see if you are the very first of Finch's Favorites.

Always keep dreaming & believing!
